I had an uncle who disappeared in 1920.
However, there was an interesting story from BC when I lived there at the time.
An icy bridge. An old couple. They swerved and went off the bridge into the icy waters. Two teenage boys behind them stopped and jumped into the river and pulled them out. But while they were down there they saw a second car. They reported this to the police at the scene. The police sent down divers and found an old car with a skeleton in it. Upon checking the license plate, they identified a man who had disappeared 40 years previously. He had been a teacher and engaged at the time. The woman, who was still alive, had thought he just got scared and ran out on her.
That's a sad story about the teacher. You know, maybe he did get scared, and it was a suicide... but whichever it was, I hope his fiance had managed to grieve and move on with her life, maybe marry someone else.
